Good move about showing the Gap procedure. Most plus will say gap is set from factory. To a certain point probably true but remember a dairy wide range of gaps and plugs are made with different vehicle gap specs. The general concept is …..”Trust but verify”. Plugs can get bumped during packing, shipping and even on the retailer storage shelves.
I dab a small coating of either die electric grease or silicone high temp just a light smear around the flare out of the coil pack where it makes the seal with the spark
Plug chamber jacket. Optional but may help the pack slide off easier next time.
Another trick I kind of self taught but can be helpful.
As you remove the new plugs from the box place the old plug in the same empty box. Mark cylinder # and in this case. A/B for each plug. The reason I do that is after the new plugs are installed the marking of the plug to the box can still provide useful information in two areas.
I even went so far as to marl each coil pack with the cylinder number with a color contrasting permanent marker for easier reference.
If you choose this option to mark the coil
Packs remember especially with 2 plugs and coil pack leads per cylinder do it correctly and consistently………
Example: if you choose Cylinder #1 to be A-B front of the engine to back that’s fine but make sure you keep the markings consistent for the other cylinders.
Ex 2: if you choose A-B Left-Right as if standing over the fender that would make A against the firewall and B on the radiator side. That works too but remember keep consistent. No matter how
Much we think we know and can remember we all know that we have the human factor and can get distracted by life.
1. I can review the plugs and compare the used plugs with burn charts for spark
Plugs. This can determine if there are any engine problems causing abnormal water pattern (s).
2. The added benefit is that any abnormal wear pattern can be narrowed down to a particular cylinder for further inspection.
AutoZone and probably Amazon by new have a spark plug socket specifically designed for the deep spark plug wells. One side is obviously the socket and the extension is built into the plug. There is a narrow range universal joint also included.
This socket provides socket, extension and universal all as one piece reducing the chance of losing one of the three or more importantly reducing chances of the plug slipping off the socket. The extension is 6” I believe and also provides a knurled knob to help turn plug by hand after initial breaking of torque for removal and before torque for installation.
What model year is the 300 in the video?
Awesome video man, i was definitely thinking i wouldnt be able to do this on my own but after your instructions I’ll be ordering every thing i need today!
Compared to other videos you made it seem very simple and gave me the confidence to do it on my own. Thanks !!
Don't use anti seize on the threads like that. That much anti seize on the plug will eventually migrate into the combustion chamber and get into the motor..not good. The taper on the spark plug is what seals the plug to head. You should not be using anti seize at all. Anti seize has its place on marine engines or engines with steel heads, and it is used sparingly on the taper part of the plug only.
Would the spark plugs fit a 2005 Chrysler 300c v8 5.7 hemi engine ?
Great video
Whatre the odds id be able to ask you some questions? You seem to mnow that 5.7 well, and im having some issues with mine
very comprehensive. thank you!
Bro your instructions were so clear and well understanding ! You’ve saved me time and money ! God Bless and keep it up
ngk's were made for japanese cars.. they preform better plus theres no need to check gap as they come pre gapped… especially on platinum plugs
So did you disconnect the battery or not? Seen videos saying to. An saw some people in the comments saying how good your video is and how other left things out. Kinda curious if the battery don’t matter or you left it out. Also what did you use to tighten it to 13 foot lbs? Could of shown what you used and how to set the proper torque on whatever you used for people who may need help with that. Also there’s a lot of debat on wether you need to do that as other claim they had no problems doing it by hand and not a torque wrench.
Are the ones next to the fuse box the hardest?

I thought the yellow extension cord was 'Before / After' lol
Thanks for this video. I just replaced 16 spark plugs on my 2015 Charger 5.7 HEMI. It helped A LOT.
Thanks man.
Very clear/ to the point and the camera angles were great.
